The Union for the Mediterranean provides a framework for the development of Euro-Mediterranean relations, especially by means of increasing mobility and exchanges of students, teachers, researchers, by strengthening intercultural dialogue or by implementing joint programs of study and research. The specialists in all areas and actors in higher education and research are invited to participate in our conference in Banská Bystrica, in Central Slovakia, on the two main themes:

* The political prospects of Euro-Mediterranean relations.
With more or less intensity depending on the period, the Mediterranean is a place of meetings, exchanges and political, cultural, economic or religious confrontations. Political accord has not been reached yet and the integration is far from being achieved, but new forms of relationships between Mediterranean countries and more generally within the This session will bring together political and institutional analyses of the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation in various fields, especially economic, cultural and educational, but also on issues of security, human rights and democratic developments. The specifics of the Euro-Mediterranean integration will be analysed, including the question of the need for coordination and harmonization of academic institutions and training systems and methods of knowledge transfer in the area.

* The challenge of employability of students in the Euro-Mediterranean region: evidence and analysis.
The higher education institutions appear to be included in general logic of professionalization, integrating mobility into this objective. The issue is vital since it is important to articulate the training programs to the needs and possibilities of the society and to achieve a greater convergence between learning and professional reality, especially in the context of generalization of a competency-based approach. The issue of the compatibility between professional goals and projects of universities is central: is it an instrumentalization, or even alienation of the space of higher education and of research to the exclusion of debatable economic dogma or effects of social developments, particularly related to evolution of social, political, cultural and economic behaviour? We can ask whether the challenge of employability is an appropriate institutional response to the requests from students and other parties, taking into account their strategic capabilities, or if this challenge translates to behavioural conformity and submission of these institutions to the political dictates? Euro-Mediterranean area, are likely to develop in the context of international geopolitical and economic developments and of the consequences of the Arab Spring.
